leaving the party

I used to go out, look for your face In a crowd full of smoke, beer, and strangers I used to walk by and wish you would see me Put your hand on my hand and dance with me I used to spend my nights dancing by the door Hoping you'd walk in and take me home We felt like a basement at 2 am The music blaring, holding hands But sometimes magic things burn out fast And last night when I saw you Dancing with a stranger and you kept looking at me I knew that you knew and you weren't sorry So I'm leaving the party I used to care, wait for your call Your name to pop up on my screen in the dark I used to dress up and wish you would notice We'd be drunk, you'd get high, then you'd go and I used to spend my nights hoping you would stay But staying means you'll leave someday We felt like a basement at 2 am The music blaring, holding hands But sometimes magic things burn out fast And last night when I saw you Dancing with a stranger and you kept looking at me I knew that you knew and you weren't sorry So I'm leaving the party alone Walking home with my friends Laughing and smiling And so much better off in the end We felt like a basement at 2 am We felt like a basement at 2 am The music blaring, holding hands But sometimes magic things burn out fast And last night when I saw you Dancing with a stranger and you kept looking at me I knew that you knew and you weren't sorry And yeah, I know that you know and I'm not sorry So I'm leaving the party Mm
